Mister Jim Leavelle is a REAL American Heroe of Worldwide réputation !!!! As it's said in this video , he was in Dallas during the nov 22 1963 tragic events ; He is (may be ?) the last person alive to day who was at DPD during the questioning of L.H.OSWALD.Personnaly, I should like JIM LEAVELLE write a book on the case coz he is obviously an expert on the case !!!!
